All that presents our deporture is being obliged to wait .for the arrival of the two frigates from New-York, which are daily expected- Thus you see I dhall in a few days be again on the field of acsion. I hud obtain •d a flirlongh for the purpose of visiting the United States, when 1 received Orders to proceed direct to Carthagena, at which place I arrived with the squadron from Puerto Cabello, to reunite with the squad ron against Cuba.

This expected expedition must cause great uneasiness to the wealthy inhabitants of tiiat rich and beautiful Island, and I sin cerely (lope that they will not expose them selves to an useless and destructive warfare for as soon ba the banner of Colombia is un furled Oo their shores, there will be thou sands to join her standard dtily—but should tbpy not accede to our proposals, doubtless that rich and fertile country - will ba laid waste to the ravages of war, -' We are making great preparations for the ce|ebrafion of Bolivar's birth-ijey on the 78th inst. which it irbe'ieved will excel any thing in brilliancy given here since the possession by ttiw Colombian!. There is already upwards of £10,000 for a dinner, ball and supper, which Will be extremely' gratifying to the feelings ef ibe community, not onlyfromit* being the birth-day of the illustrious Bolivar, but tbe entrance on that day ot Pedro Caul, Esq. with other diplo malic characters, utfio avn on their war to meet the ministers and delegates of the North and South Republic* at a general congress at Panama, South America must become the ampori um of trade, dnd young men of genteel and liberal education, cannot do otherwise than rite to fortune, especially if tpaaking tbe language ahd writing well. There fast just this moment arrived splendid 64 gun .ship from Swedulsnd, sold to thie government, with a complement of 600 men. She is a fine ship in 'appearance and will augment our force greatly. We are momently expecting a frigate from Eng land for this government, toff we shall be here some time yet before we sail. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. To Til EDITORS OV THE GEORGIAN. ’ Miu.XDOEvn.LE, Nov. 30—I have little more to communicate ‘then the extract* which I have made, from the journals, here with transmitted. Nothing of a. politics I obaraeter hat occurred to excite the feel ings of tbs Legislature,and most of its busi ness is of a local character. A communication was received from Mr. Spalding, President ofthd Darien Bank yes terday, offering, in compliance with a reso lution of the Directors, his attendance for the purpose of explaining the cause- of the present depreciation of the bills of the Bank of-Darion, and of intimating what may ap pear ti{ be the beat course to restore the Bank to its.former uSefulues—and the reso lution quoted below was consequently pass ed to admit him within tha Baroflba House for tbo above purpose. In Senate tha cora- tpuoication was referred to the Bank Com- M1UEDOEVILLE, '78th Nov. 187$. Mr. Speaker md Gentlemen of the -.

Tfie evil was added to by the wide, sml I will add by thn wild speculation in produce during the lust season, which required a much largnr sum of Bankable money than usual to serve as the medium on the passing of largo masses of Cotton-from the bands of oqe speculator in produce to an othar in these cities. However good the money might be considered, if it would not answer tile purpose of these purchasers, it was re jected, sod consequently fell in value. Af ter si ruggling for ^ time, in vain, to check the depreciation of its bills, the Board of Di rectors determined upon their, their, only remaiiiing course, which was to cull in their ’cftculfitinn S« speedily as it eould be done with safety to tho Initntion.and without ruin, to its debtors. By tha settlement day of the Bank ef Darien, which is the first Monday in December, it will be found that the. Bank haa called in half a million of dollars' of its bills—as will be found also, that it will, not theo have in circulation above eleven hundred and filly thousand dollars, sub etracting from which sum, tho amount in Treasury euppoeed to be. by that time £.400,- 000, will leavejG50,000 abroad. It is sup posed by tbe direction of Mother Bank and its Branches, that they will! ttke up by the first of May next £400,000 out of thia sum of £650,000, leaving in all human probability, by that timo. not more thau 850,000 in gen eral circulation. It is believed that before they have reached this point, delusion will have passed away, and that the Bunk will be found to possess, .and to merit to posess a R much of the public confidnnca os any intitu- tion m the’ state. This morning, the writer ■fthis note, after the must careful revision that he cart give to all the debts of the In dilution with all the lights that be can msl led around him, and with the schedule of those debts before him, cannot fine! that the Institution by any poseibilily will loose morn than£290.500, while the reserved fund aris ing from accumulated discount from interest on debt* io suit and under mortgage fron interest secured by mortgage in Louisi. ana., from dividends on stock held by the Bank, will make an aggragnlennthe first Monday in December of £704,000—end there may poaeibly be added to this amount some increaaed value at some future day at the large property they hold in Darien—an der these impressions gentlemen, I will con elude with saying to yon that if the Bank of Darien is permitted to repose for a sing)- year, the great interest which the Slate has o this Institution,as well as of the Block holders, will, be secured, and none, either private or public. sustain a loss by the In ablution.” The affairs ofthe Bank ire to be discus sed in the House this day.

Several persons were present, principally white men and a few Indians of the friendly or McIn tosh parly. Iu that couversat ion, General Games stated, iu speaking of the possessions of the United States, beyond the Mississippi, that the general government possessed no lands in dial quarter, free from lire iacum- byunco of Indian Lisles or the occupancy of which aettlers who could not be removed without entering into formal treaties—he fa thur said, it was tiro most bcds-over-lread peic* of business in th* general government that perhaps ever occurred in -die conduct ol wish men to engage by treaty witii the In di'ans’o exchange with them territory when they ha-i none to exchange.

Talking of the Indians—ho ■aid they were disposed to be reconciled and return tothu Nation, except Chilly McIntosh and the small party attached to him; that he did not care whether he did or not; that he wsa no chief and had a plenty of property to live either among the Indians or whites. He further said the people of Georgia were a re flecting people—that they were under the influence of intriguing politicians and that he had no doubt they would ultimately approve his conduct. This deponent limber saith that the conversation was a long ouu, and du ring its continuance Gen.

As far at the origin 1! plnus for effecting a continuum and compline navigation of these import! nt streams have been attempted to be carried into effect, and as far as contracts have been made for the completion of the different sorliuns of these important improvements, there can be but out opinion. It is conceived that works of a simi lar nature were never belter eaecated in any country, under any auperinlendency or di rection. They are executed in a manner to .' last for the present aod for future age«. They arc made for posterity. What haa been accomplished ia bat a part of a noble and enlightened plan for brief ing wealth from abroad—fur increasing the relative value uf property—fur removing the inconveeieucea of distance—and fur improv ing tbe happiness and bettering the condition of a very important sectiun ofthe State. It wo'uld at this day be needles, to insist on the advantages and the intrinsic value of wa ter conveyance. The experience of Ibis couutry and of others join their testimony in Us favor. From the strongest convictions of my judgement, with regard to the importance of the measure, I recommend to you to aprn- priate the amount necessary for the comple tion of the plan for the improvement of tines iinpnrtaut rivers. To withhold the necessa ry appropriation, and thereby nbnadon sa enterprizc, believed by former Legislature,, to he connected with so many advantages, tn some of the hast interests of Ibis, and ol'a sis- State, would either subject you as a bud) to the charge of precipitation m the first instani or of mounsfotaocy or fickleness in the stq cond.
